SB 2040 and Cara Jennings

Pen Pogue, a Lake Worth resident, wrote a letter to the editor published in Sunday's PB Post stating that Lake Worth has "an over-the-top" noise ordinance, metered parking and now it is banning smoking at city parks. He asks, "Where are the anarchists when you really need them?" Actually his complaints have nothing to do with anarchists.

Well, Cara Jennings, infamous anarchist, is still around. She was quoted in Sunday's Palm Beach Post as well. Speaking on the recent immigration Bill 2040-- her gripe:

"This bill will deter certain communities from reporting crime. This bill will destroy decades of investment on the city level for community policing efforts. The trust between these communities and the police will quickly erode," said Jennings. She was speaking of Rep. William Snyder's recent proposed legislation.

Snyder said, "The conceptual framework of my bill provides enforcement only after an officer discovers, during a police investigation, that a suspect is here illegally. Nothing in the law requires that a U.S. citizen carry his or her passport. People from other countries here legally are mandated by federal law to carry proof of their legal status. My legislation will not create requirements exceeding existing federal law."

Jennings is doing what she is known for--fighting for the rights of illegal aliens and telling the immigrant community to fear the police instead of helping them understand the law.

Law enforcement is well trained. Everyone expounds on the PBSO in that regard and the PBSO enforces laws under our Constitution. Illegals will not be harassed. Jennings rhetoric is standard operating procedure from those groups supporting criminals who cross our borders illegally. What Socialists and anti-immigration protesters want us to believe is that this Bill will be a mandate to harass anyone who looks or sounds foreign.

The substance of the Bill is that it requires companies with over 100 employees to check their legal status and for law enforcement to check immigration status during criminal investigations. It is about time.

The Bill will come back to the FL Senate.
